But then, at 2008's Frankfurt Musikmesse, inventor Peter Neubaecker pulled a whole new breed of rabbit from the sleeve of his conjurer's robe, in the shape of the flabbergasting new 'Direct Note Access' (DNA) algorithm.
However, the raw emotional impact of Celemony's first big technological 'hurrah' has inevitably faded in the memory, while the competition has upped its game. By the time a proper plug‑in version was announced at the end of 2006, and I personally joined the ranks of its regular users, the whole package was slick and mature, and it soon proved itself indispensable for my everyday audio‑buffing tasks. Since then, Melodyne has progressed through several stand‑alone versions, each refining the existing concept and ironing out wrinkles in the user experience. The quality of its central pitch/time manipulation engine generated a real sense of excitement amongst musicians on account of the new possibilities on offer.
It's easy to forget how much of a revelation Celemony's original Melodyne software was when it first appeared in 2001. Will mixing and remixing ever be the same again? In its new Direct Note Access, the latest version of Celemony's Melodyne introduces what might just be the most hotly anticipated piece of music technology ever.
